I wonder why none of the feature phone OSes have been open sourced? Is it because they only work on the one device they were installed on? Cricket and all the other feature phones before smartphones had tons of Operating Systems, maybe that would give people a head start?

Sure its safe when you dump all your waste in another state. If your state that created the nuclear waste had to keep it, it would be a different story.

Now if APNG would gather some steam, high quality animated fully alpha transparent images would be nice. Gif's 256 color and 1 level transparency is ok, but to do better work we need something like APNG, although not sure how well it compresses.

Anything they do FB will steal and put in their products

If you believe in nuclear power so much, please keep the nuclear waste in your state where it's created instead of sending it elsewhere

I'm hoping snapchat wins, its easy for FB with tons of money to just copy another company

It's seo, people outsource writing crap blogs for seo ranking and having fresh articles that Google wants to see the site is updated

Now if we could get companies on intern fraud that would be great. Interns are not legally supposed to take jobs from real workers, be unpaid (unless you are a non-profit), or be used for real work right away (like things that might be used 9 months from now possibly). But their main purpose is to teach them, not to be used for cheap/free labor.

In this day and age of the NSA, let them record it and put it all over the internet. I have a dash cam myself, but not for inside the car, although it does record the audio inside, (which can pick up some outside audio).

There are cheaper alternatives to basecamp people

Companies make mistakes all the time that cost them. Uber just made one that will be talked about in hundreds of ways now. Just like Friendster, MySpace, Magnolia, Digg, etc.

It may not be fair, but it happens. Knowing how to make good decisions counts a lot regardless if you are at the top on on the way up.

In in the end, the customers decide what they feel is best.

If each state is willing to deal w their own waste, go for it, but stop shipping it to other states!

I believe it takes like 5 yrs for citizenship anyway, I remember hearing something like that back in 2005

Wonder if Twitter will end up like Delicious. Even with Pocket, Diigo and such, I'm not sure what people use to save bookmaks these days. Delicious went through several hands, Diigo was almost there but their bookmarklet doesnt let you know if you already have something tagged. Delicious abandoned their FF plugin and so its basically not worth using the site anymore.

I'll be honest, I wont miss Twitter if it dies out, as I'm not a user. The thing I hate is how Twitter killed RSS for many browsers and users. So if Twitter dies, so be it for causing that to happen.

I dont use Chromium because I dont trust Google, but I use Vivaldi but not sure how much Googlization is in it for spying.

Pipes gui was revolutionary when it came out and to me is invaluable. Shame to see it and rss die out from mass appeal :(

The Internet Archive will still archive your site even if you use their recommended robots.txt suggestions to have them not archive your site. I had several domains where I setup the robots.txt immediately as one of the first things on my sites. While I owned the sites and ran them with the robots.txt Archive.org would not show any archive of them. However once the sites went down/changed domains, etc, the archive of them is now on archive.org. So all they do is block you from seeing what is on the site as of now, not forever. So you'd have to own the domain infinitely to have it not archived by them.

I like the hand icon, the milkshake might work but make the milk transparent with a line for the top of it

How is Mozilla responsible for this? This guy wasn't even CEO when he made the donation in 2008 (as far as I know). So to abandon Firefox which is not his creation alone seems foolish. If anything abandoning JavaScript would make more sense since that is what he created, not Mozilla or Firefox.

:(

Last.fm had a huge library of music, about 100 times more variety than Pandora has. I discovered tons and tons of bands, that are obscure in other countries.

This is a huge blow to my listening experience and I'm sure will hurt a lot of obscure bands from being discovered.

Hell, I'm near my late 30s and I've never made over 28k (and the one time I did it lasted one year). Right now I'm a permatemp contractor (no benefits) but I like the job because I get to do design work a lot. Granted I'm not a "hacker" and more of a mediocre dev. I've read questions on "older developers" for years (back on slashdot and digg), so I've always known it was going to come sooner or later.

I don't know how many other jobs I can get with a certificate that will pay decent. I already have a bachelors in CS, and don't want to go to college again (its several more times more expensive than when I went). All my skills are computer related and I do not plan to go back into tech support ever again. Management isn't me and neither is sales. Guess I'm not sure what I'll end up doing.

Everyone here seems to be rockstars or A-list devs, but I like reading the comments here since it keeps me up to date and I learn a lot.

Google pays FF to have it in the list of search engines, not sure if they pay to have the default spot anymore or if they ever did for that specifically

I don't see anything wrong with it, its just setting defaults, not exactly ads, most browser companies get paid some money for adding in default bookmarks

Reminds me of an article on words not to use like "never", "can't", "etc".

Unfortunately I didn't bookmark it and am not able to find it on Google either :(

Reddit has a lot of childish crap on it with a horrible design. When Digg died, I just stuck with a few blogs until I found this site.

Paint Shop or Corel Draw are much cheaper. If you still need commercial softare.

I've tried a lot of them, I liked newsblur but the limits, no river of news and the dashboard that comes up everytime frustrated me. So now I just use netvibes, if they add youtube embed capability, it will be awesome.

Nice stuff, I always wished CSS would have more shorthand codes. Not sure I'll use it, I worry I'll become too dependent on non-official syntax. Hopefully the W3C sees this and borrows some ideas.

netvibes.com is free and good, just wish they would implement showing youtube embeds properly, other than that it does what I want

NewsBlur is good, but I don't care for the dashboard opening each time I visit. I'd rather have it remember what I was reading last and open there the next time I login or visit.

I switched to netvibes for now, but I don't like how netvibes wont pick up youtube embedded videos.

Anyone have a full article on how to build a site with just Python and not using Django? This would be more helpful than bashing PHP.

The article would have to show us how to install Python, configure it, get it working on the server, what to upload, how to deal with forms, cookies, etc. I've yet to see this kind of article. I wouldn't mind learning Python for web use, but every book I've seen suggests you just use a framework or has a very small chapter composing of a few pages. Such an article or even a book, would get more people off PHP, if that's what people want. Until then PHP gets stuff done and that's all clients care about, no one cares if I use Windows, Linux or Mac OS X when I work. Granted I'm not a l33t programmer like most on here, I'm just here to learn from better coders.
